Mon, 10 Dec 2012 18:40:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=91516#comment-2677340Considering that everyone has electricity via power lines, establishing great infrastructure is worth it. I think if you combine Google fiber with TRUE 4G wireless than you can get everyone connected in America. Google would be dumb if they didn’t do this. Similar to General Electric created the power-lines creating a new demand of electric products, Google could capitalize on ALL COMMUNICATION. Considering that we are in the information age, it seems only natural.

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:31:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=91516#comment-2675128They will get a 10X return, easily…. as they basically eviscerate the market share of Verizon / Comcast / TimeWarner / etc. Do it Google, pick an actual major market (Kansas City really?!) and watch the returns come in. You don’t have to light everyone up at the same time.

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:18:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=91516#comment-2673384I’m fine with that. It still means I’m getting Fiber in the next couple of years. New York is a popular place. If it doesn’t come in the next couple of year, hasta la vista New York.

Sun, 09 Dec 2012 12:51:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=91516#comment-2671199He’s right it is sorry. In most areas you only have a few options, Fios is the only reliable good service, different cable providers are all over the place in terms of being good/bad and there is only 1 cable service for any given area. U-verse has a data cap and not a big one, and areas with U-verse are less likely to have Fios, so those people are screwed. Even good cable providers and Fios are overpriced compared to other countries and there is no competition to drive prices down. You can negotiate by threatening to go from cable to Fios/U-verse and vice versa but it will only help so much. Neither side needs to bend over backwards, they know consumers don’t have many options.

Sun, 09 Dec 2012 05:09:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=91516#comment-2669869There are 3 main reasons it could happen. One being the network you mentioned. Two the fact that Notre Dame is here. And three the fact that South Bend was a finalist city along with Kansas City.

Sun, 09 Dec 2012 05:04:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=91516#comment-2669860Metronet runs throughout the city, and could theoretically be used by Google. Seems like it would be win-win for Google & Metronet. Most of the major infrastructure is in place. It would just be a matter of connecting to the main lines & running to the neighborhoods.. Many of the larger businesses & ND use it already. I wish it were available for residential use – I keep checking to see & hoping.

Sun, 09 Dec 2012 04:56:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=91516#comment-2669852So are you saying the infrastructure is already there for Google to lease or are you saying residential customers in South Bend can gets this?

Sun, 09 Dec 2012 03:59:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=91516#comment-2669735You’re forgetting that we already have Metronet fiber that runs through town, which ND is already connected to.. http://www.metronetzing.org/maps.cfm

Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and many other top tier Internet content provider should just create a joint venture to build a fast fiber and mobile network. It’s in their best interest to provide a fast and “open” network.
